You need real work from home jobs.
News flash:
It’s doable. A lot more doable than even six months ago.
Here’s why—
One third of US employees are already working from home. (Scroll down for proof.)
Plus, Google just made things tons easier.
You can find remote jobs now. In many cases it's simpler than getting in-person jobs.
But don’t look the usual way. Why?
Big companies hate stay-at-home jobs. (Startups love ‘em.) Sadly, big firms dominate the search results.
Once you know how to look, you’re in.
This guide will show you:
Just want to know how to find work from home jobs? Type “remote” + [JOB TITLE] + “jobs” in Google. Click “search.” Then click the blue jobs bar.
You’ll find part-time, full-time, or side jobs just waiting for you!

(Trust me. I work from home.)
But—
How do you get work from home jobs?
Here’s the quick and dirty:
Don’t use Indeed, Monster, LinkedIn, Glassdoor, or any of the other best job sites.
I love those sites (for different reasons). But Google for Jobs is the only site to use for legit remote jobs.
Why?
Google’s got the AI muscle. It knows what you’re looking for. It scrapes jobs from all the other sites, and even from company pages.
And boy does it deliver.
It’s sooo easy.
Just Google:
“Remote” + [JOB TITLE] + ”jobs”
Google will give its usual results. But—
At the top, you’ll see a big blue bar.
Click it.
Hey, presto.
You’ve got hundreds—maybe thousands of legitimate work-from-home jobs, including great side jobs.
Here’s the kicker:
You need to find a good one, fast, amid the zillions of results.
I’ll help, after the list of stay at home jobs titles below.
